BMW F 650 GS gets reintroduction to the U.S.

Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/motorcycles/" rel="tag">Motorcycles</a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-bmw-f-650-gs/989635/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/2009-bmw-f650gsc_450.jpg" /></a> Click above for more high-res images of the 2009 BMW F 650 GS BMW Motorrad has had a 650cc off-road-ready adventure bike in its line since 2000, but the new one for model year '09 is vastly different than its predecessor. The bike is completely new and highlighted by a new parallel-twin engine that now displaces almost 800cc -- the same as the more powerful but more expensive<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/15/milan-2007-bmw-finally-unveils-the-f800-gs/"> F 800 GS</a>. The two models differ in their specific engine tuning with the 650 producing 71-horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 55 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm and the F 800 GS offering up 85 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 62 lb-ft at 5,750 rpm. Unlike most BMW motorcycles that use a shaft drive, the F-Series GS uses a more rational chain for its off-road durability and interchangeability. A steel trellis frame mates with a double-sided swingarm to offer a stiff chassis and the fuel is mounted below the seat for a low center of gravity. Pricing begins at $8,255, though adding the Standard Package quickly raises the asking price to $9,760. You'll want that package as it includes heated hand grips, anti-lock brakes, an on-board computer, and (who cares?) white turn signals. <div class="postgallery"><s trong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-bmw-f-650-gs/">2009 BMW F 650 GS</a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-bmw-f-650-gs/989629/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/2009-bmw-f650gsa_1280_thumbnail.jp g" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-bmw-f-650-gs/989634/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/2009-bmw-f650gsb_1280_thumbnail.jp g" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-bmw-f-650-gs/989635/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/2009-bmw-f650gsc_1280_thumbnail.jp g" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-bmw-f-650-gs/989630/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/2009-bmw-f650gsd_1280_thumbnail.jp g" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2009-bmw-f-650-gs/989636/"><img src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/2009-bmw-f650gse_1280_thumbnail.jp g" alt="" title="" /></a></div> [Source: BMW]<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/22/bmw-f-650-gs-gets-reintroduction-to-the-u-s/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading BMW F 650 GS gets reintroduction to the U.S.</a> <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/22/bmw-f-650-gs-gets-reintroduction-to-the-u-s/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/forward/1290509/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a> | <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/22/bmw-f-650-gs-gets-reintroduction-to-the-u-s/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a><hr />

BMW owners claim software update degrades performance

Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/maintenance/" rel="tag">Maintenance</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a><a href="http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147781"> <img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/feb17bmw_1_250.jpg" /></a>BMW's N54 engine has won the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/07/2008-international-engine-of-the-year-awards-announced/">International Engine of the Year</a> award for the past two straight years. It has also been listed as one of Ward's 10 Best Engines during the same period. The engine produces 306 hp and 295 ft-lbs of torque in a 3.0L inline six package thanks to the use of twin Mitsubishi turbochargers and direct injection. The N54's quick response and smooth torque curve has been an attraction for many enthusiasts, including myself - I call my Montego Blue coupe the turbo Cookie Monster. That is why a few BMW 335i owners are miffed by a feeling of reduced performance after a <a href="http://www.bmwtis.com/tsb/bulletins/bulletin_graphic_temp/B111307g.htm">recent service update</a>. Posters on the BMW forum <a href="http://www.e90post.com/forums/">e90post.com</a> claim that a software update to adjust rattling wastegate valves has induced lag into the turbochargers that wasn't there before. 
As illustrated in the gallery below, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-n54-engine-and-turbos/990158/">N54 turbochargers</a> differ from most setups in that the wastegates default to the open position. This allows for better emissions due to the ability of the exhaust gas to bypass the turbochargers on start up so the catalytic converters can heat up faster. It certainly follows suit that BMW has the ability to adjust the ECU settings in order to hold those wastegates open, thus altering the turbochargers' peak boost point and adding to the perception of lag. Currently all performance degradation discussion has been based on seat of the pants feel, along with increased exhaust noise and fuel consumption. Despite the claims, BMW North America and service centers have, thus far, found no critical issue with the new settings. If owners want to present true evidence, they should use a simple OBD scanner device to data log the manifold pressure or simply run a dyno comparison test.

eBay Find of the Day: Texas dealer's replica BMW 135 tii

Filed under: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/carbuying/" rel="tag">Car Buying</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/conceptcars/" rel="tag">Concept Cars</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/tunertuesdays/" rel="tag">Tuners</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/auction-action/" rel="tag">Auction Action</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/bmw/" rel="tag">BMW</a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-135-projekt-1/995172/"><img hspace="4" border="0" vspace="4" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/tii_main_450.jpg" /></a> Click above for photo gallery Now that BMW's 1-series has a solid presence on dealer lots, enthusiasts of the Roundel can start with lusty customizations that pay homage to the great BMWs of the past. In the case of this 135, we can say that BMW started it with its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/24/tokyo-motor-show-live-shots-of-the-bmw-1-series-tii-concept/">Concept tii</a> that made the rounds in late 2007. Classic BMW in Texas plucked a 135i out of its stock for Projekt 1. Many of the "upgrades" that have been applied to the car are largely unneeded cosmetic geegaws like mirror covers and bodykit accents. We're down with the matte stripe job on the hood, and the vaguely described "retrofit front suspension" and performance exhaust system offer some tangible benefits; the exhaust even proves its worth with dyno sheets. Basically, the exhaust and suspension are the only things on the list worth having, and those would cost about 5 grand, rather than the 12K price inflation this 135 is carrying. While we're sure Projekt 1 is a hoot to drive, we already have a hard time getting behind 1 Series pricing, no matter how brilliant the chassis is. Slapping a bunch of junk on it and bumping the price into the heady $50,000 neighborhood doesn't make it any more attractive. Still, if you want to have the most exclusive 135i on the social climber block, a Buy It Now of $55,372 will make it yours.

No Audi R8 competitor coming from BMW

It's a sign of the times. After having rolled out the delectable <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/27/modern-retro-bmw-m1-homage-officially-revealed/">M1 Hommage concept</a> (pictured above), one BMW board member says that the Bavarian automaker has no intention of producing a supercar to compete with the likes of the Audi R8. Instead, BMW will focus on green technologies.
The news comes straight from Klaus Draeger, the board member at the helm of the EfficientDymanics initiative. While Audi continues to produce <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/25/r8-v10-spied-again-at-audis-quattro-gmbh/">more powerful</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/12/first-spy-shots-of-audi-r8-targa-surface/">more desirable</a> versions of the R8, Mercedes prepares entirely new supercars and Porsche continues to do what Porsche has always done, the company that once hailed itself as the producers of the "Ultimate Driving Machine" is more concerned with hybrids than sportscars.

Spy Shots: BMW M-tuned X5 and X6 in Spartanburg

Click above for high-res gallery of BMW X5 M and X6 M spy shots
Despite earlier assertions to the contrary, all indications are now that BMW is preparing its first batch of M-tuned sport-utilities, including an X5 M and X6 M. Advanced-stage test mules for both have now been spied by a keen photographer right here in the United States, at BMW's Performance Center test track in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/bmw-x5-m-and-x6-m-spy-shots/999584/"><img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" align="right" alt="" src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/x5-m-spy.jpg" /></a>The prototype X5 and X6 M have enlarged air intakes with white LED headlamps up front and aerodynamic rear bumpers with quad pipes poking out the back. The trademark M division side gills have been camouflaged, but the exhaust notes are a reported dead giveaway: the X5 M prototype sounding like a twin-turbo V8, while the X6 M sounds more like a V10 or V12. The appearance of the M-tuned crossovers on American soil instead of on the Nurburgring gives us an idea of just who BMW will be targeting with these performance sport-utes. Check out all the spy shots in our gallery below and hit up <a href="http://palbay.smugmug.com/gallery/5763560_adiyz#P-2-12">the source</a> for two spy videos.
